I really enjoy Similar Worlds. I have met some really interesting and awesome people there. And the best part is you have the option of blocking anyone who says things that upset you or even annoy you. They also have a feature of giving a nudity warning if you are going to post a naughty photo. Anyone who does not want to see such a photo does not have to open it.
My name is Blodyn. I am 20 and I been on Similar Worlds since it started. Quite a few years. It's like nothing else on Earth. We are a community, a family. We trust each other. And the staff are really dedicated. When I was younger they made sure to keep me safe. Well they still do keep me safe but you know what I mean. Because people who are not really wishing the good of other people do sadly creep in and when you are older like me you have the option of blocking them but when I was younger the website protected me from them. So if you're in your teens give it a go. Tell everyone about your interests. There'll be someone who will want to talk to you. I talk to people from all over the world. And sometimes you make life long friends!
What can I say about this site? Sure, it was a great place to go when experience project left us to dry. I thought this site would be great but turns out that it is very terrible. The admins are very biased, very unprofessional, they play favourites and ban those that didn't do anything wrong because of a poor spam system that bans you. The service of customer support is non existent like the users sex life. The amount of filth that you end up reading makes you wonder how lacking humanity is and that if a alien race ever came to this planet and thought "Hmm. Should we allow them to live?" Dear god, I would hijack their ship and blow the planet up myself. All I can say is... BRING BACK EXPERIENCE PROJECT!
This is a great locale to let your hair down, let your thoughts and feeling flow freely. If a person loves to live vicariously through the actions of others, there are many accounts to read, satiating the desires.
The start of the website was rough but the administrators of the website and have met all of the challenges to make this a very unique and fun website that includes discussion groups and emotional support groups.
I had been on SW for 6 years and constantly harassed by a group of scammers that scammed me out of some money years earlier. They followed me there after my bank helped me get most of it back. They began ripping my account apart by deleting photos and my best stories. I've been hacked by them for years. When I finally decided to expose them to the community and administration * jumped on saying nothing was happening!? I was shocked and surprised by his hurtful comment. Earlier I had sent him names of these hackers, but he never responded. I hung in there for another year or so untill my account was ruined by them, so I at last left. You will also lose your counter views if you complain, they will all slow way down. The counter views should be eliminated because they pit users against each other, lots of jealousy over that feature. You also have to pay for blocking after a certain amount last I was there. I left almost a year ago after being bullied and data removed. I recommend going to sites where your data can't be removed, AND where you'll be treated with better respect than I was. I'm much happier since leaving.

I was on another site that used to have an issues with trolls, That is, disputers and those wished to spread lies and falsehoods. And I read most of the comments below, I realize those trolls have found a home here. So many untruths have been told as fact. The character assignation that two two owners of the site have gone through in these comment is seldom seen.
I went to the site the week it opened and I am still there. I have watched it grow -and evolve- and I do not believe it is done. Will they give the users everything they want? No. A site cannot please all. But the majority will be happy.
As for the owners I know very little of them. And that is fine, I need not know their business. Personal or private. And neither should any business they have be anyone else's concern.
I suspect the negative comment. Below, is a coordinated effert on the part of one, or a group--o demean similarworlds.
Long time users of the site can see right through the BS.
I was in love with the experience project and the only thing I'd really change back is to make it easier to find older post and essentially stop notifying the whole site when a post goes up.
One of the things I loved about EP was all the hits I got were Targeted Traffic from people who had searched terms rather than the whole site because unfortunately notifying the entire website of my activity just invites the trollish responses.
There are a lot there- But you know the same snot nosed $#*! for brains exist on all social networks so it's not SW that's the problem.
So, after trying to get my account and plead to the admin. They let my account be unbanned. So, its been fun. I post Gif, I talk to people, there are very nice people that I can relate to but the downsize is that there are some very unstable people on there that try to report you and get you banned. There are some users, long time users that I have noticed that I had no beef with them are very... awful. I've never interacted with them but they can say some right out horrible things. You have to navigate around them by blocking them. I do believe that these users should be given a warning for making false reports. I do hope the Admins get the control on those abusing the flag report.
A year ago I was so pleased with this site. I had a problem being harassed and Nuno dealt with it so effectively.
Now this place seems to be crawling with jealous and petty people whose aim seems to be to pick on the users deemed to be popular, and proceed to harass them. And inspite of there being moderators, there seems to be not much moderating going on because these people seem to get away with just a light tap on the back of their hand in the name of ToS breach.
It is no wonder, its going down so fast and it is getting hard to find much of quality any more.
A shame, when a contributing and active member is treated this way.
Similar Worlds is a well designed, administrated, and moderated site. I cannot fault the efforts of staff to provide a free and functional social site. There's simply little they can do about the large number of people intent on being as pathetic and troublesome as possible. I want to be a success in life, and so I left.

Similar Worlds is a good place to pass some time. Sometimes I ought to be doing something more productive, but if I weren't wasting time at Similar Worlds I'd be wasting it somewhere else! There are nice people there. Despicable people. Funny people. People who are looking for friends, people who want to tell jokes, talk about their love life, talk politics. People who want advice, people who want to give advice. After a while some people will be very familiar to you.
I was a member a very long time ago. I was booted for a very absurd (and many users thought so as well) reason. I DIDNT EVEN violate TOS and I was gone for over 2 years. I decided to give the site another try. DivineWind77.
Everyone I spoke to liked my posts. Nobody and I had ANY arguments. And guess what. INSTANTLY booted. No explanation. No review. No justified reasons.
Talk about a bunch of petty people. The moderators apparently hold grudges and play favorites just like children.
If you want adult interaction and fair play. Don't look here. Apparently if they don't like you. They ban you FOR LIFE.
Similar World is a great discussion site. You can go there to vent, have some laughs & post. As with any site, you need to be cautious. Not everything is believer. But once you become a regular poster, people get to know you, & you become part of the community. The same goes for people who comment often. Of course, there are also users who aren't genuine & are there to make others miserable, but that's what the block & mute buttons are for. The admins & moderators on the site try their best to update the site, respond to reports & complaints, & ban certain users. It's a community site with both good & bad users, but it's a great site overall.
Although I miss EP and the friends I had there, SW does suit me in some ways. Yes there are trolls n negativity on their like any site, I BLOCK or report them. There have been decent people whom have helped when I needed answers or opinions on certain things.
I rather like visiting Similar Worlds. I have met some interesting people there, and we discuss everything from politics to history, writing to how bad the Scottish football team are this season!
I really haven't been on there long. I heard about the site through a friend on Facebook and I thought it would be a good change of pace, compared to Facebook.
The first day I signed up I noticed my posts wouldn't show up on the main forum of Similar Worlds. And a few more posts after that, same result. I wasn't visible on the site. So I was basically shadow banned. I contacted the admins of Similar Worlds, and got no response at all. Eventually I closed my profile. Clearly my expectations were a little too high for that site.
I tried to make a review about this on Trustpilot. But they took it down, Trustpilot said that my review didn't seem genuine. And wanted evidence. Like... what? What evidence are you looking for? My posts literally got no interaction for the time that I was there. So I sent them screenshots of my posts. They have yet to get back to me on that, and I doubt they will.
Because it looks like there's favoritism going on. Smh.
No social media site does it better. It flows 24x7. You can endlessly expess yourself, while at the same time systemicly ignoring those you do not want to read.
Everybodys experience is unique
Not a site for those wanting to torment
A good site for those inquisitive about others
An excellent site for expression and healing
Ideal to find a friend at 2 AM
A Friendly-oriented Website. You are free to share without offending anyone. The idea is to keep it decent and in order. The organizers manage this quite well.

It's a good place to go and talk to people with things going on in there life's just like you are going through. Sure you have to dig through the trash but you might just find some treasures along the way. You can block people from talking to you if you want to. Every site has its strange areas and similar worlds is no different. There are trolls and smart mouthed folks to like any place else. The ads get to be a bit much at times but it is my own fault for being cheap lol I've only had one problem since I been here and it was dealt with swiftly. I hear people complain about getting unwanted pictures and comments but I been here since it came in to being and never received any nude pics, a couple of unwanted comments but nothing to cry over, in my opinion this site is as good if not better than most, especially those that have so much drama on them.
That's my opinion on similar worlds take or leave it but don't blame me if you go to a site that's a living nightmare
Justice for all
Answer: They will never address it! They condone it! This site needs to be shut down as it is causing depression among its users. The cyber bullying that takes place on this site is unacceptable.

Hello,
You had a few accounts with us 3~4 years ago (FelixLegion, Spartan1, DesertGhost are a few examples), and as per our records, you accumulated over 250 reports by our members through the lifetime of those accounts.
We can see that you received multiple warnings on your accounts, before we proceeded with suspending your accounts.
We did give you a chance to come back as Reaper8541, but unfortunately after 40 accumulated reports, we had no choice, but to permanently disallow you on Similar Worlds.
